Ahead of Heroes of the Pacific's take off date of
September 9th, engage in some awesome aerial combat
action right now with the PC demo, available to download
from www.codemasters.co.uk/heroes
Released today to mark the 60th anniversary of V-J Day,
when the Allies celebrated victory over Japanese forces,
the demo takes you into the skies for three key missions
from World War II's Pacific Theatre. There's also an
incredible multiplayer dogfight mission over Midway for
up to 8 online or LAN players.
Through the full game you'll be piloting over 35 of World
War II's fiercest fighters with authentic handling from
the US, Allied and Japanese air forces. In the demo's
single-player mode, climb into the cockpits of the
high-performance Corsair F4U-4, the twin-boomed Lightning
P38F-15, the tightly manoeuvrable Tempest MkII and the
Bearcat F8F, a true hotrod.
Alternatively, take on your mates in multiplayer battles
and you'll be piloting the fearsome Japanese Zero A6M2,
the ultra-fast Raiden J2M2, the FW-190A-8 and the Frank
KI-84-1A, best Japanese fighter of the war that had US
pilots saying "Forget it, it's a Frank".
The demo's single-player missions catapult you into three
Pacific hotspots:
Pearl Harbor - Surprise Attack:
Caught off guard by a Japanese surprise attack, get up
into the skies immediately to avoid being destroyed by
ground attack planes. Once airborne, defend the planes
still on the ground and the fuel facilities at all costs.
Wake Island - Evacuate the Admiral
The relentless bombardments have knocked out the majority
of the US air forces defences and evacuation procedures
have begun. As the Japanese send another wave of landing
craft and assault troops towards Wake Island, intercept
and destroy them before they reach the shore and capture
US key personnel and the senior Admiral still on the
island.
Marshall Islands - Attack On Taroa Airfield
The Japanese airfield on Taroa poses a serious threat to
the US carrier fleet. US surveillance has revealed
construction of two radar towers that would act as an
early warning system. Your mission is to knock out the
radar towers and then destroy the remaining air defences.
The mission's on a tight deadline as the US forces are
about to land paratroopers in the area to capture the
base.
That's just a taste of the aerial combat adventures that
await you in Heroes of the Pacific coming September 9th
for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.
